"Consistent with those results, here, we revealed that baicalin also inhibits activation of the PERK/eIF2α pathway and thus downregulates TXNIP expression and subsequently reduces activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome, resulting in reduced pyroptosis in Mtb-infected macrophages (Figure 7)."

"To further verify that baicalin could inhibit the activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome by suppressing the activation of the PERK/eIF2α pathway in Mtb-infected macrophages, the protein levels of TXNIP were determined by western blotting after PERK siRNA transfection, and TXNIP expression was significantly decreased with this treatment (Figure 6(g))."

"The expression of the NLRP3 inflammasome was also increased when the AMPK pathway was blocked by compound C. Taken together, our findings reveal that baicalin reduces the activity of the NLRP3 inflammasome and consequently inhibits cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury through activation of the AMPK signaling pathway."
